Abstract

This case study aims to analyse the market potential of heat pumps and thermal energy storage in Romania at the level of a small commune, Crucea from Constanța. It was carried out on the basis of interviews with the main decision-makers of the commune. During the study, documents regarding the thermal energy and electricity consumption of the main public buildings in Crucea have been analysed and field visits have also taken place. Documents such as the existing energy certificates of the buildings and their RLVs were also studied. It presents the structure of the thermal energy consumption of public buildings and analyses the data on the consumption and costs of thermal energy in order to reduce electricity consumption and the carbon footprint. The study proposes technical solutions based on integrated systems with heat pumps and thermal energy storage, customized for each public building analysed.
